Ok so I'm in IB product control and I have to send 12-15 traders or so every day reports on their PnL and analysis of big moves (I actually do the analysis myself, takes 3-4 hours everyday) and recently, a couple of traders contacted me directly to ask me about something concerning the reports I send. They wanted to know if they could get them in a single email instead of getting 5 or 6 emails (It's impossible I told them, something to do with the program we use).
Anyway, after explaining to one trader why it wasn't possible, I just blatantly asked where he was based, as the traders I send the reports to are not all on the same continent! He said he's in V city and asked where I was based. I said I was in V city as well and in fact, it ends up that we're in the same building! So he said something like " To be precise, I'm in longitude X and latitude Y ;)" with a smily face. I got this email at 8.30 pm and didn't respond. I'd like to write back to him and try to "develop" a relationship or something...
Is it a good idea to say something like:
"Hey man, if there's anything you think I should know or that you would like me to do for you in these reports, let me know. It would be great to get some feedback/advice on these things. In prod. control, I don't always feel like we "understand" everything that we're doing so it would be awesome to have something concrete to think about or do"?
or I dunno, something else maybe
or is this an awful idea all together?
The dude seemed pretty open and friendly. I'd like to secure a FO internship position after this 6 month BO internship so I figure anything that gets me closer to FO is good. Plus, if I develop a relationship with him or something I might be able to get access to the trading floor.
What do you guys think? I just don't want to be seen as a desperate guy. I think what I wrote higher up is decent and shows that I'm motivated and interested.
